Chapter 118: Shiratorizawa vs. Jozenji (2) Match Alert...
The match between Qingcheng and Date Industry is in the second round. On the A field, there are Arai River and Kazawa High School. The winner of the next match will become one of the top four. On the B field, there is the match between Shiratorizawa and Jozenji, which Futakuchi and Aone came here early to watch.
To be honest, they hadn't expected it to turn out like this at first. This year's grouping was really strange. It seemed that the people from Qingcheng had also arrived, but they were still some distance away from their seats. When the prickly main attacker saw the look in Erkou's eyes, he was obviously stunned, and then nodded politely at them. The setter who was traveling with him was watching the game intently without even turning his head.
He is quite similar to Qinggen beside him.
When Futakuchi and the others arrived, they were still serving at Jiancheng's service game, but the score still frightened them. Following them were second-year seniors, and Mao Ting was about to throw his head back like an anime. "This is too much suffering."
Qinggen didn't react much, his eyes were fixed on the court, observing carefully.
Futakuchi, however, noticed something unusual and frowned, "...Isn't the amount of sweat from the free men at Jozenji a bit odd?"
Compared to him, the other teammates around him were hardly sweating, but their expressions were getting uglier by uglier. Nikuchi realized something almost instantly, and then went to watch the next serve by the Shiratorizawa setter.
——He had a guess, which was not a good one.
The score on the court was 6:0, which meant that Jozenji had not been able to stop Kenjo Shinichi's serve offensive so far, and the setter Shiratorizawa didn't even show a change of expression. He just had a cold face, with clear eyes and eyebrows, staring at the volleyball that was back in his hand again, turning it nonchalantly.
Then as they sat down, the whistle blew.
Throw the ball and score.
Just like he had been doing in the previous few balls.
The cheerleaders of Shiratorizawa were simply obsessed with him. His name was linked to the phrase "invincible", and he alone could create the momentum of a mighty army.
As the score gradually increased, No. 9's brows furrowed in thought, and he stared at Jozenji's position as if he had seen something unpleasant, as if asking -
"Why can't I pick up the phone?"
But at the same time, the ball path was constantly changing, and Futakuchi could only see the libero Jozenji's pursed lips and the sweat on his forehead from constantly catching the ball.
After observing for a moment, Oikawa Toru said in a deep voice, his expression revealing no joy or dislike, simply stating the facts: "He started targeting the libero after the third goal."
Iwaizumi, who came with him, could of course see this, but it was normal behavior for a server, especially one who was absolutely confident in his skills. The libero was the person with the heaviest receiving responsibility in the team, and also the one with the best receiving skills. Once the libero's mentality was destroyed, it was hard to say what the final outcome of the entire team would be.
He slowly exhaled, "...I didn't expect Kenjo-kun to be like this." After thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate, but he couldn't find a replacement word, so he had to say the one he had thought of before, "Bad...?" There was a hint of hesitation in his tone. After all, if that was the case, Kenjo Shinichi's expression shouldn't be like it is now, looking so gloomy.
It seemed as if he was dissatisfied with Jozenji.
Oikawa put his hand to his lips, his eyes unclear, "He's very impatient."
This was completely different for Kenjo Shinichi, at least the one he knew.
Why?
Because Jo Zenji couldn't catch his ball?
Or in other words,
Oikawa thought of a reason and found it a little unbelievable, "...He deliberately served the ball to the libero in the hope that it would be received?"
Iwaizumi and Oikawa, who had said this, looked at each other, disbelief in each other's eyes.
Is Kenjo Shinichi a fool?
Does he even know how hard it is to catch his ball?
The two of them looked at Number Nine in perfect sync, who was standing at the serving point and was so annoyed that everyone could see it. Finally, they had to admit it when they saw him serving.
This fool seems to really think so.
After watching for a while, I felt that there was a great deal of confusion on Kenjo Shinichi's face, and he wondered if Jozenji Freeman was playing a trick on him.
Qingcheng Duo: ...
I really can't have any expectations of this kid Jiancheng in the future. He really doesn't understand everyday humans.
The two of them remained silent until the eighth ball, when Jo Zenji finally caught the ball. Although it was difficult, Jiancheng really didn't frown anymore - it seemed like small flowers were still blooming around him.
“…I’ve never seen anyone so stupid.”
For a moment, Oikawa and Iwaizumi's thoughts were unified.

Just as the two of them had expected, the farmer's decision to leave without consulting a fortune teller had led to all this. Wasn't Yi Xingtian's luck a bit too unbelievable...? He had deliberately chosen an opponent, only to find that things weren't turning out the way he'd hoped. Instead, they seemed to be working for Lewis.
farmer:……
The farmer began to wonder if Lewis had bribed the elves and asked them to give him the lucky attribute unconditionally today, but it was obviously just a thought... The elves were always fair. The farmer felt a little regretful for his behavior of arranging this group of creatures, and then after a few minutes he finally got what he wanted - although Lewis looked extremely satisfied.
So he became even more upset, and decided to secretly water Lewis's flowers (Coach Eagle Carpenter recently grew a pot of succulents) when he returned: ever since he got the key to the town (most of the time the farmer used it to enter Lewis' room), the farmer has ignored the door.
When the farmer had this idea, Coach Jiujiang, who had a smile on his face on the sidelines, suddenly sneezed without warning, and then his right eyelid began to twitch violently.
Coach Eagle Master: ...
Coach Jiujiang stared at Jiancheng Xinyi for a while and found that the opponent just returned to his position, leaving him with the back of his head. However, looking at the score of 7:1 on the sidelines, he calmed down again and thought to himself that he couldn't always think that Jiancheng would get into trouble. Look at how wonderful his serve was today.
He doesn't try to embarrass anyone on purpose, and he always uses serving tactics. He is a good kid occasionally.
Coach Saito, who was standing beside him, thought it was the weather. It was almost late autumn, but the temperature inside the stadium seemed to be gradually rising, so it didn't feel cold. The coach, who had taken off his coat before the match, said, "The weather has been getting cooler lately."
Supervisor Eagle's response to this was—
"It's time to go back and add some more tasks. The amount of exercise should also be doubled when the weather gets cooler. Look at their movements, they're all rusty."
Coach Saito: ...
No, that's not what he wanted to say. Besides, the movements of the Shiratorizawa players on the field were so smooth, where was the rust?
Coach Saito opened his mouth for a few seconds and then closed it again.
I always feel like it will get worse if I continue talking.
A member of the Shiratorizawa club, who played volleyball diligently, was inexplicably given extra training.

"Block the slash ball--!"
Although the score difference is huge, Jo Zenji does not want to give up this game for the time being. Every point in volleyball is worth fighting for, and they have no way to avoid Kenjo Shinichi's serve for the time being. Fortunately, Doyu has a good mentality. Although he was targeted at the beginning, he did not slack off. Instead, he showed a surprised expression when he actually received the ball, and told them that he would work harder.
"Very ambitious, Shin!" Ishikawa said, "After all, he is the Demon King."
Tsuchitsu Shinshin said of course, that's why he wasn't sad (well, a little bit actually). Thinking about how all the previous teams were like this made him feel much better. After all, Jiancheng's serve could be selected as one of the top ten terrifying incidents of liberos on the volleyball court.
Initially, the title of Demon King was also passed on from free people - although it was on an anonymous forum.
It seems that at the beginning, it was said that Kenshiro Shinichi was a hero, but later this title was expelled from the fandom because of ooc. Kenshiro has no similarities with the hero except for his appearance.
In short, it will be much better if you imagine yourself as a player character in an RPG game.
Most people can't complete the game in one go, and he is no exception. He just goes back to the resurrection point more times than others.
Thinking of this, he calmed down. The actions of seniors Ishikawa and Akimiya just now had blocked the diagonal ball of Shiratorizawa's ace Ushijima. Under such limited conditions, there would be fewer routes that could be hit, and a straight ball would be much better.
So in the next second, Doyu caught the ball, "Akimiya-senpai!"
This was a very high pass, and if it wasn't handled properly it might have become an opportunity for Shiratorizawa.
"I'll do it!" Akimiya passed the ball, which was a little high, but the person who was about to dunk the ball was using all his strength.
There were spectators on the sidelines sighing.
“This ball is difficult to hit.”
"The first pass wasn't good, it was too high, and it also caused the second pass to go astray."
Such words kept coming into my ears.
But Okutake Joji didn't think it was a bad shot. This was a ball that their first-year students had fought hard to get. How could it be taken away so easily by Shiratorizawa? He gritted his teeth, flipped his right hand, and hit the ball hard.
"Bang——"
The volleyball landed heavily on the court, giving Jozenji the second point.
"What a great shot, senior!" After a brief silence, Terushima was the first to lose his patience. He ran over and gave Okutake a high-five, with the corners of his mouth curved wider than anyone else's. Akimiya also came over and patted him on the back.
On the contrary, Tu Tang, who received the ball, didn't dare to get close.
And Ao Yue turned to him and gave him a thumbs up.
*
Kawanishi Taichi, who failed to block the ball, apologized. Tendo, with his hands on his hips, told him not to worry about it. Then his eyes moved, lingering on Jo Zenji for a moment, as if sighing, "People really are like banners."
Then he looked at Ushijima, whose ball was blocked, with a half-smile: "Come on, Wakari-kun, we have to maintain the advantage that Shinichi has given us."
Ushijima's response was to nod, his face firm as he looked at Jiancheng, who was standing in front of the net, wondering what he was thinking: "Pass the next ball to me too."
Player number nine seemed to be surprised by what he said, and his expression was a little distressed.
Then he nodded under their gaze.
"Okay." Kenjo Shinichi answered obediently.
